Zelman Orchestra returns to Daylesford

The longest running community orchestra in Melbourne will bring music of the romantic era to Daylesford on Sunday. The Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra will perform a program featuring Beethoven, Weber and Wagner at the Daylesford Town Hall with guest conductors Ingrid Martin and Joseph Lallo.

Beethoven’s music will bookend the concert, opening with Coriolan Overture and closing with Symphony Number One.

The Zelman Memorial Symphony Orchestra was formed in 1933 in memory of prominent Australian musician and founder of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Alberto Zelman who died in 1927. The Zelman Orchestra was comprised of amateur players who left the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra when it became professional.
